I like the first and the last.

All are nice But I love the first on the best.

I love the first one. That is so pretty. Encourages me to get busy on my mariners compass. How did you make that blue border around that quilt? Looks pretty cool.

Ahhh after I blew it up I can see those blue lines are log cabin squares. Good idea you had there..

I thought 2nd then 4 but any are so gorgeous. I really like them.

I vote for either #1 or #4. (very similar) and all very very nice. I love the colors too. You did a fantastic job.

I vote for #1

I vote for the last one. I think it frames your compass block the best. Awesome colors!

This is a trick question....right?
I looked and looked at #1 then back to #4 and didn't see any difference in them.
I looked real close again...I see that the compass in #1 is on point and the compass in #4 isn't. Is there any other difference that I'm missing? :oops:

Guess I'm the odd ball, I like #3.

4 for me,please.

Auntluc, the compasses are on point in all the different layouts.

Number one and number two are the same layout with different fabric triangles (blue or gold). Number two and three are the same layout with the gold or blue triangles.

I like the first photo because the square the compass is on is on point...see how the log cabin squares frame it? I hope this makes sense to others because I'm seeing something different if the compasses are all on point.
It's a beauty either way you put it together.

Oh, now I see what you were referring to, sorry for the misunderstanding. We were both saying the same thing, just in a different way.

I prefer the last...beautiful quilt by thw way... :-)

Cynde--I am glad that you are going with number 4. It was my choice too. It frames your marniner's compass without crowding it. The quilt is just beautiful and I cannot wait to see it finished!!!!

We'll be looking for a picture when you get it put together...love that blue mariner's compass.

First one....

I love the first one. but I really am curious about the BIG Package on the sofa. lol
you do beautiful work, the colors are striking :)

only one word to say - BEAUTIFUL

I agree! First and last are my favorites. Gorgeous, BTW

Thank you.

I was wondering when someone would ask about the large gift. I had put our kids Wii and accessories all together in it, so they wouldn't be able to guess what it was. I knew our son would recognize the size/shape of a Wii box at 20 paces, and wanted to keep them guessing as long as possible. We made them open it last on Christmas morning, it was so much fun to torture them.

ditto to what bj says

WOW!!!
Thats beautiful...

The last one. Fantastic job! I wish was as creative.

I like them all. Beautiful.

If it was for me, I like all of the choices.. Fantastic color's. Don-isewman1

The fourth layout is awesome, but then most of the others were to. The color combination is great.

My dear daughter in law got me a book with this design and the simplier the better. I like the first background. It makes the compass show off.

Either the first or the last one, the others make it look cluttered.

This is it, finally done.

I hadn't put in my 2 cent's worth, but it looks like you managed to get it together brilliantly. I love the symmetry, and the choice of colours is wonderful.

My vote goes to the finished product.

I really like the first one ...

Spectacular...

That's simply gorgeous!!

Thank you all for your input to help me decide, and comments on the finished product.

I was 10 inches short when it cam time to put on the border, so this disaster turned into a design opportunity. I put the 1/4 mariner compass blocks in the corners, which I think looks better than a plain border anyway.

I did leave the border off the top of the quilt on purpose (planned to from the very beginning), I find that the top border never shows on a bed when it is made, so decided to just forget it. Has anyone else ever done this?

I turned out gorgeous! Love it!

Absolutely AWESOME!!! Spectacular work!!

Beautiful quilt. Great colors. I love the pattern. It's a one of a kind quilt.

WoW, I like them ALL :D :D :D The 4th one tho is my favorite :D
